As comfortable being worn around town to the coffee shop as it is as a mid-layer on the mountain, the Patagonia down sweater does not disappoint in its versatility. It is surprisingly warm for how lightweight if feels, and packs down nicely so you can toss it in your pack when out on a dawn patrol ski tour. Bottom line, the Patagonia Down Sweater is at home in any cold weather environment: from the urban errand runner, to the early morning dawn patroller, this coat gets it done.

Classic puffy

Size Bought: Medium

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 165lbs

This is a very nice down jacket that works great as a layering piece or as an outer layer. The fit is true to size so I would not recommend sizing up or down in this specific model. Also this jacket is quite packable so you can easily use it when skiing or hiking and stuff it into a backpack if you get too warm.

Overall a solid down jacket that I would recommend to anyone looking for a quality puffy.

I could not live without this jacket. It's weight, warmth and packability make it the perfect jacket for almost any situation. I pair it with my torrentshell and I am always ready for anything. I have put this jacket to the test and it has out performed my expectations. Perfect for day hikes or as a base layer skiing. Most utilized jacket in my quiver, hands down

Great Product; Terrible Return Policy

Fit: Runs small

Size Bought: Medium

The Patagonia Down sweater is great and the workmanship is also excellent! 5 stars for that Nonetheless, The return department at Backcountry is Horrible! The right hand does not have a clue of what the left hand is doing. Yes, BAckcountry sends daily emails with their sales, promotions, new products etc. and their sales team is great. BUT, they have not paid enough attention to their returns department. It took over a months for me to get my money backon a return THEY had lost. They never sent me emails nor did they contact me. I had to chat with them every other day and did not come through until I got serious and talked to my lawyers. ZERO STARS for that department!!!!

Not disputing the problem you report, but my experience with a Backcountry return was just the opposite: it could not have been better. And the return was necessitated due to MY MISTAKE, yet they didn't flinch to correct the problem.

Two thumbs up

Fit: True to size

I originally decided to buy the down sweater without the hood for layering under my shell but I've found that I've ended up wearing it around town and for running errands more than skiing. The cold days I did wear it skiing I was very glad I had it, especially those really chilly days when I was sitting on the lift. I'd probably use a down vest a little more for skiing than the down sweater, just because I tend to be a little warmer in the upper body than others. Besides skiing this has been my "go to" jacket from November to March, these northern Utah winters can be cold. The down sweater is very light and comfortable, easy to layer or wear by its self. It's obvious to me why this jacket has so many great reviews, extremely versatile, lightweight and comfortable. Plus it all packs into a single pocket and doesn't take up much space.

Great for around town and backcountry

I was on the fence about this jacket. I really did not like how flimsy and thin the ultralight version was but I wanted a great down jacket that was also as light as possible. I was torn between this one and another jacket by another brand that was about 4 ounces lighter. I opted to buy both for maximum flexibility and choice. I realize this is not always an option (and the first time I have done this myself), but I could have stuck with the Down Sweater, to be honest.

I sweat, I do not perspire. With that means that I cannot wear down jackets when I am working hard and sweating (even with down treatment). For me, the down jacket is for cold nights at camp after I have cooled down and am not swimming in my sweat.

I have already taken this jacket out a couple of times and I love the weight and packability. I purchased a 3L dry sack (because I live in the PNW) and found that in the dry sack this jacket packs down smaller than in its own pocket stuff sack. The jacket sat beautifully in the bottom of my pack without taking much space until lunch time when, after a full morning of rigorous snowshoeing, I needed to let my mid layer dry off a bit. I was warm within minutes in this jacket, fresh out of the stuff sack. The jacket puffed up quickly and I was actually overheating and had to vent the jacket after 10 minutes.

This jacket is also much more rugged than the ultralight version. This may not be as much of a deal for some as it is for me but I want a jacket that can withstand me and my less than graceful ways and accidents. I also tend to push my gear hard. I have also worn it out around town a couple of times and it blocks the wind enough to keep me warm but also lets enough in that I am not cooking inside (which happens a lot). Please keep in mind that I run warmer than most.

If I had a complaint (which is not enough to effect my rating of the jacket), it would be that the cut is a little on the generous side. I wear a large in most brands unless they run small and usually, with a couple layers on, a large will fit over everything with little room to spare. I am not super slender or overly muscular but I also do not have a midsection either. This jacket is almost too generously cut for my liking. There is no question that you can layer plenty underneath this jacket and it will still feel comfortable. With a t-shirt or a couple light layers, this jacket is very roomy. This could be good for some but maybe not for others. I rated the jacket as true to size but some may consider the jacket to run large.

Needless to say that this jacket, despite the extra 4 ounces, is worth it to me over the ultralight version. It looks good both around town and keeps you warm in the backcountry. A great all around jacket. And Patagonia's views on the environment make it one of the few companies that I purchase gear from.

Lightweight warm jacket

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

Fit: Runs small

My husband loved the previous version of this jacket, it was a medium and was excited to update after the zipper failed on the last one. The new medium jacket is much smaller and rides up around his chest and armpits. The material is very slippery and hard to hold a backpack on one shoulder without it sliding off. He got his old jacket repaired and continues to wear that one.

This is by far the best jacket I have ever bought. Extremely light, stylish, comfortable and warm. Backcountry had a great price on it. Not sure what makes it a sweater, but very much feels like a jacket.

Was hesitant about ordering this jacket, but could not be happier. It'as so light but at the same time it's very very warm. The quality of the down allows it to be packed into a very small form factor, which makes it ideal for travel. The build quality is second to none, as with all Patagonia products.

Bought the jacket because of the warmth and weight stated in other reviews, intended to use for backpacking. Haven't had the opportunity to use for the high country, but have worn in the Sierra foothills during chilly mornings. At 25 degrees I was nice and toasty.

I love this jacket! It's lightweight and packs easily, but keeps me warm in the cold Utah winters. I purchased mine in black and it is versatile to wear in just about any situation. I would definitely recommend for an everyday jacket!

Great jacket for some a size smaller

Several reviewers have pointed out the small sizing to these Patagonia jackets. At least in my case it's the distribution of the small sizing. The shoulders and sleeves of my medium jacket fit fine. It's around the waist where things get dicey. I have a 32 inch waist and the thing fits like a girdle. No other medium size jacket I own has a similar problem. Apparently they designed it this way but it's hard to understand why.

Good, but not Great

Familiarity: I've used it several times

Fit: Runs small

Patagonia needs to make their jackets American size, not European. I wear an XL with every other jacket or shirt except Patagonia. This thing was too tight, and I'm not sure if Patagonia is simply trying to skimp on cost. But as expensive as their jackets are, this thing should fit perfectly.

Also, while the jacket is warm for the size, can we update the shell a bit Patagonia? This thing rips at the drop of a dime. Don't even think of getting it near a fence or a flame. Let's update the jacket some, and get a shell that is firmer and one that doesn't melt if you're roasting marshmallows.

Aside from that the jacket is warm and thin, making it very portable. It just greatly needs an update to address the issues mentioned.

Dude, are you serious? You expect a lightweight down jacket to resist tears on a fence or flames from a fire? Maybe you need to look into military grade or firefighting jackets. Also, there is a sizing chart that assists one in finding the right size; whether you're American or European is irrelevant.

Answer Dick Todd's Question

Dick, I would go with this over the Cerium. The Cerium is geared towards the user looking for the lightest option while Patagonia keeps the down sweater a little heavier but, more robust. I've had mine for over 10 years.

Does either the Patagonia down jacket or the Patagonia nano air run big? I am 6'3 250, i ordered the mountain hardwear nitrous in XXL and it swallowed me, so now I would rather pay more and get one of these two jackets. I wear an xxl in true slim fitting designs but I can wear xl sometimes when they run big. Please help

Answer Serok song's Question

My son's Patagonia coat came, correct size, color and just what I wanted......but the packaging smells like cigarettes! Ewwww. I'll have to air the coat out before gifting it to him. Not a fan of the awful smell😒

Post a Comment

hey if you are not familiar with down it has a smell to it. This is probably the smell you are getting. It does kind of smell cigarette smokish I guess. Depends on the persons view I guess. The shell of all this gear anymore is so thin that the down smell passes through it easily.

What would be a good size for someone who is 6' and 150lbs. I fit half of the small size characteristics abd half of the medium size characteristics. Is there room for an extra layer in your normal size?

Answer Nick F. 's Question

Your body is a medium but your arms are probable a large or XL! (I have loooong arms at 6'1'') Look at the sizing chart. Do you know what sleeve length you are? The problem with being tall and thin is you will rarely find a good athletic fit, especially at your weight.

Post a Comment

I'm 5'11, 170 lbs and the Large fits great with a little room. It doesn't look like it's too big, and allows me to swing my arms (on belay, etc). I tried the medium and it fits, but really no room to move and add layers underneath.

Answer Alejandro V.'s Question

I am 6'2", 180b and i wear a size Large that fits quite well. I would think a medium might fit you... But it's hard to say as i don't know exactly how broad you are. Did you try clicking on the size guide and measuring your chest? Patagonia usually does a pretty good job with their size guide and from the looks of it this product runs pretty true to size!

Post a Comment

I am only about 5'9 but have a stocky build, and I weigh about 170. I want to use the down sweater as my winter jacket. Should I go with the medium or a large? (Considering I have to layer and what not)
